The Washington Post

Winter break: a college student's first real break after the semester started in August. Students get to see friends and relatives they haven't seen in months, sleep in a comfortable bed, and relax from exams and school work. However, as soon as students become comfortable with lounging around the house and binge-watching Netflix, they have to go back to school. Here are 11 signs that you're a William & Mary student returning from winter break:

1. When you haven't even been on campus for 30 seconds and have already tripped on 3 bricks

2. ...and have already been attacked by 5 squirrels

3. But then you see your friends for the first time in a month and everyone's beyond excited to be reunited again

4. And then you remember it's a new semester which means your Flex dollars reset...

5. So you and your friends go to the Crust to eat skillet cookies

6. But then you realize that you haven't even been on campus for a week and you only have $3.54 left in Flex

7. You finally get the text that you've been waiting for from Coursicle saying that the class you wanted has opened up...

8. But by the time you get to the computer and log into banner, you discover that the class is already closed

9. Classes start and you immediately regret registering for an 8 a.m.

10. You start using 10 swipes per week on coffee to help you wake up for your classes

11. Even though you've only been in school for a week, you're already counting down the days to spring break

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
